Emmanuel Duron Incident
[edit ]In December 2020, the school received national attention after Emmanuel Duron, a defensive lineman on the football team who had been named District 31-6A defensive player of the year in 2019,[10] attacked referee Fred Garcia during the first half of the zone play-in playoff game against Pharr-San Juan-Alamo High School. Duron was ejected from the game for two unsportsmanlike penalties when he attacked Garcia and left him with a concussion; he was escorted off the field and out of the stadium by police[11] and was charged with Class A assault and was released from county jail after posting a 10,000ドル bail.[12] Edinburg would win the game 35–21. However, school district officials forfeited the game to Pharr the following day due to Duron's actions. Had the district not acted, the UIL would have done so.[13] The UI placed Edinburg's entire athletic program on probation for two years through the 2022-23 season.
